Terms In Gaming That You Hate.

[Inverse Skies]

'Did you Win?'

I struggle to grasp the concept of winning at a Mario game say...

 

[beholdmycape]

'Hardcore Gamer'

yeah...

 

[Kell478]

It's gotten to the point where I make up my own acrynoms for things. Like when something bad happens I type in histk (Honey I shrunk the kids). Everyone is to busy trying to be cool that no one has ever asked me what it means and I am such a bad player I type it alot!

 

[fantasyland]

all of them

 

[Blackality]

Casual/hardcore

It's totally gay to label gamers like that. Especially if you think that hardcore games are the ones with blood and violence.

God I hate this on so many levels.

WHAT HAPPENED TO CALUMON

Motion controls. :/

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Motion controls. :/

You hate the term or the idea?

Hit Points...it would make more sense if it were Life Points or something like that. Hit Points makes me think of the score you get for hitting something.
and
XP being "experience points" instead of EP.

Anyone who uses the term "fag" or "******" as an insult. Now if I remember correctly, "faggots" is the name used to describe meatballs. ****** means a bundle of sticks, a culinary term for herbs and chores. Fag is used as a term for cigarettes. Can anybody please tell me when did ****** become a slang for sissies and homosexuals?

Every time anybody calls me a ****** online I always think to myself what sort of idiot would call me a bundle of sticks.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Rig (as in a gaming PC).

Why?

OT: "DLC is planned for after the game's launch."

It pisses me off so much. Even if it's planned before, just tell me after so it seems like something extra as opposed to something missing.

I wish I could get a dollar for everytime the words pwned, epic and noob are uttered here.

People who realise that the modern meaning is a derogatory term for homosexuals?

I'd just ignore it if they call you a ******. Its not a strong insult and it shouldn't insult you if you have nothing against homosexuals.

 

[Voodoomancer]

All the ones I keep using again and again in an ironic way.

Except not.

I hate every gaming term even remotely related to "leetspeak" I've browsed servers full of people who don't know how to say anything normally and, let me say, I cannot STAND it when it takes a programming expert to translate the number/letter/symbol jargon filling my screen.

noob - the term is thrown around so callously that it's just beyond ridiculous. Oh the game just came out today? And you haven't been playing since 12:01 am when I got my copy and said, "Well, I don't have a job, I'm going to go be the only person online playing this game for the next 6 hours." Good for you, I'm a noob, now kiss my ass.

I definitely have to agree with this, and I can totally relate.

It's particularly bad on Wombat Farms (Combat Arms)

I don't like it when companies just throw around the term to show how they're fresh and with the times.
